HENRY WATTERsoN says that "sOme people estimate the ability of a periodical and the talent of it's editor by the amount of original matter. It is a comparatively easy matter for q frothy writep to string out a colum of words lpon any and all subjects. Ills ideas may flow on in a weak, washy, everlasting flood, and his command of lam guagc may enable him to tie them together like a bunch of onions, and yet his paper may be but a meager and poor concern. Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper is but small portion of the work. The care, and time employ ed in selecting is far more impor- tant, and the fact of a good editor is better shown by his selections than anything else, and that we know is half the battle"

Those Compromises.

Considerable comment has been made by our local press upon the official conduct of the Hon. James H. Wright at the recent term of our District Court. There could not be malice-there must have been .igno- rance of the facts which has caused these expressions of untavorable opinions. The dispatches sent from here by the agent of the as sociated press contained just en- ougll of the truth to mislcad-not enough to enlighten; and their character, in all likelihood, caused this general misunderstanding. A rational consideration of all of the facts of each case will not only re- lieve His Honor from criticism, but commend his conduct to the cor dial endorsement of all law-abid- ing, intelligent, fair-minded citi- Zens.
 Clanton and Stanley indicted fourteen and eight times respective ly for grand larceny. The former tried, convicted ard sentenced to ten years at Yuma in one case. Stanley's guilt and conviction be- ing very doubtful, he was permitted to leave the Territory permanently in two months. The indictments against him were neither settled or dismissed, but still stand.
 Gray, a young man of good standing-first offence-and the Territory being hopeless of secur- ing the attendance of it's witnesses, and therefore, utterly unable to try, or see any prospect of trial in the future, was permitted to emigrate permanently. Indictment not dis missed.
 Nathan Earth, charged with em- bracery, plead guilty, and paid 8 fine of $500 and costs,
 
 The other two charges against him having grown out of his fidu- ciary relation to the estate of the late Morris Earth, deceased, who left a widow and two small chil- dren, upon the recommendation of Howard, Herndon, Sanford and Johnston, his counsel, the District Attorney, representing the Terri tory, and Gutterson as attorney for the widow and children, was re- quired to refund to the heirs of his dead brothers estate $8,000, and leave the Territory permanently by the 1st of January. No indictment dismissed or settled.
 Judge Wright simply acquiesced in the suggestion of six honorable lawyers, representing all interests, that course resulting in the pay ment to the county of $500 fine, ridding the Territory of an unde- sirable citizen, and payment to the widow and orphans of enough mon ey to comfortably support them the balance of their lives. By no other course could the estate have prob ably recovered a dollar
 Every man who was tried was convicted-every man convicted was given the full penalty allowed by the law.
 This Court marked new era in the judicial history of Apache coun, ty-was a sign board on the road of progress which the rustler might see and ride on.
 In almost all cases the manly. fair and fearless conduct of Judge Wright received the cordial com mendation of all law-loving citi- zens-in no case, according to our judgment, does his conduct merit We say, let the good work go on-"and so say one and all of us"
